One of the highlights of the Canvas 6 is its unibody metal chassis, which looks particularly good in champagne gold. The build and finish are very good and the chamfered edges add a touch of class. The design itself isn't very iconic as one could easily mistake this for a Gionee or a Honor smartphone, were it not for the logo on the back. he phone has sharp lines along the edges, in stark contrast to the Canvas 6 Pro's design. It's quite a handful, and the metal does add a fair bit of weight, so be prepared for that. The sides are thick enough to offer a good grip but the smooth texture of the metal does make the phone slippery. The back is rounded so the phone doesn't feel like a block when you hold it.
The 5.5-inch IPS display gets a healthy full-HD resolution, which means pictures are sharp and colours are vivid. Sunlight legibility is also pretty decent as the Canvas 6 can achieve a good maximum brightness level. Gorilla Glass is absent here, possibly to compensate for the cost of the metal. There is a notification LED on the top, beside the 8-megapixel front camera.
